AR-15 Rifles For Home And Self-Defense, In Oklahoma

Although a rifle is the single best choice for self and home defense unfortunately there are those politicians in Oklahoma and elsewhere in the country that simply don’t understand that a Rile is a incredible tool, and they are trying to vilify Rifles, especially sporting rifles and any firearm that is capable of semi-auto fire.

Your 2nd amendment rights in Oklahoma is under attack by ignorant politicians and US Precision Defense is helping to bring out the truth about firearms and their invaluable role in Self-Defense, and saving lives.

It is a sad state of affairs that in Oklahoma that something that is so iconic in all of American history is so misunderstood by politicians, they forget history, that every single state in our union had Rifles as part of their history and even in the formation on their actual existence.

Rifles as a way of Self-Defense in Oklahoma is a right that all Americans should have without the impedance that some are trying to impose on your rights. Rifles not only are an excellent tool for Self-Defense, they came to the defense of our country from our founding to this very day, and we would not be a Nation if Rifles had not been available for our common Self-Defense.

As of 2013, To obtain a CCW permit in Oklahoma; The first step is to take a class by a certified instructor.

In 2012 Nearly 40,000 concealed carry permits were issued in Oklahoma, the highest total ever recorded. The latest permit totals in Oklahoma also show they were issued at record levels during the first and last years of Obama's first term in office.

Concealed carry applications are up across the state. In fact, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations says applications for gun permits more than doubled this January (2013) compared to last January. In Ellis County, it's even more impressive. People applied for gun licenses at twice the rate when compared to all the other 76 Oklahoma counties.

Gun laws in Oklahoma regulate the sale, the possession, and the use of firearms and ammunition in the state. Oklahoma is generally a Pro-Gun state, and has mostly less-restrictive gun laws. Being part of the Southern and Western U.S., Oklahoma is home to a very strong gun culture, and of which is clearly reflected in Oklahoma's primarily pro-gun laws.

May 15, 2012; Oklahoma State Senate Bill 1733 was signed into law by Governor Mary Fallin, which authorized open and concealed carry of handguns by permit holders. This law took effect November 1, 2012, and made Oklahoma the 25th state to allow licensed open carry.

2013, Concealed Carry Permits are way up in Oklahoma; The Oklahoma Self-Defense Act gives the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation 60 days to process applications of people with clean background checks and 90 days if the background check raises flags. But the OSBI's processing time for all requests has been averaging about 94 days. The department is working hard to streamline the process, yet was not expecting to massive volume of CCW permit requests, apparently the direct result of fears over the Obama administrations attempts to force gun control upon the states.

Starting in 2012, gun owners with a permit can carry loaded firearms openly in public for the first time since before Oklahoma became a state. In general, Senate Bill 1733, signed into law by Gov. Mary Fallin in May of 2012, amends the state’s concealed weapons laws by removing the word “concealed.” The law amendments also recognize the right of permitted gun carriers to carry handguns openly on their private property and allow people with permits issued in other states to carry their weapons in public.

In Oklahoma anyone licensed to carry a concealed firearm can choose to carry a weapon out in the open, in a belt or shoulder holster, loaded or unloaded. Oklahoma has 142,000+ men and woman licensed to carry concealed weapons. Now Oklahoma joins 43 other states in the nation to have some form of licensed open carry.

The most active members of Oklahoma's pro-gun lobby said President Barack Obama's push for tighter gun restrictions is “feel good” politics at the cost of sound gun policy. President Obama accused the national gun lobby of “ginning up” fears that the federal government is looking to take away gun rights.

January 2013, Oklahoma strongly supports the second amendment, in recent legislation put up for a vote a bill was introduced which reads: "Federal acts, laws, orders, rules, regulations, bans or registration requirements regarding firearms constitute an infringement on the individual right to keep and bear arms in the Constitution of the United States...and are hereby declared to be invalid in the State of Oklahoma."
